TWENTYThe Merovingian Dynasty, The Priory of Sion, and the Spear of
Longinus

The Priory of Sion (also the Prieure de Sion) is said to be the
"secret society
of societies."1

Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln, authors of one
acclaimed
book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, write that the brotherhood of the
Priory of Sion has been preserved for two millennia.

France's royal
Merovingian Dynasty's bloodline is said to be the protector of the
sect, which boasts that it is the actual bloodline of Jesus. The
astonishing claim is that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and
had children and from this bloodline shall someday arise a man who
shall become the ruler of planet earth.

The Holy Grail

Tied in with this unscriptural — even blasphemous—legend are the
tales of the Holy Grail and the Spear of Longinus. Some teach that
as the blood of Jesus oozed from his body on the cross, it was
collected in the Holy Grail cup. Esoterically that would make the
Holy Grail, if it exists, magical and capable of great miracles.

A variation of this story is that the Holy Grail was the drinking
vessel of Jesus at the Last Supper, which again would translate into
the cup being a magical talisman.

The Spear of longinus
The Spear of Longinus is yet another legend connected to the Priory
of Sion. It holds that a Roman Centurion named Longinus was the one
who thrust his spear into Jesus' side at the crucifixion. Some of
Jesus' blood is alleged to have fallen on him and miracles ensued.
Thus, again, a magical talisman was created — the Spear of Longinus.

Throughout history wicked tyrants, including Napoleon and Hitler,
have sought possession of the Spear, believing that it is the Spear
of Destiny and that whoever possesses it shall have the power to
rule the world.

William Cooper, whose book, Behold a Pale Horse, and his revelations
on his national radio program so angered the elite they put out a
contract on his life,
sometimes mentioned the Spear of Destiny.2

Cooper was murdered by a
combined federal-local police team that ambushed him as he
peacefully stopped his pickup at a stop sign on his way home from a
grocery store. In his book, he spoke of how vital the Spear of
Destiny is in the Illuminati scheme of things:

According to members of the intelligence community, when the New
World Order
is solidified the relics will be taken out, will be united with the
Spear of Destiny, and
will, according to legend, give the world's ruler absolute power...
Again, I remind
you that it makes not one iota of difference what you believe. If
they (the Illuminati)
believe, you will be affected.3

The Spear As Pentagram and Lightning Bolt
The Spear is a symbol of long-standing repute in the pagan and
ancient Mystery Religions. In the Egyptian religion, it was called
the Arrow of Re, or Ra, the Sun God, who was also called Horus, son
of Osiris and his reincarnation, who had the all-seeing eye.

Anton LaVey, in his book Satan Speaks, notes that the Sign of the Spear is
actually the inverted pentagram.4 In turn, the pentagram (the
satanic five-pointed star), according to LaVey represents,

"Excalibur, the Spear of Destiny, Wotan's spear point, the lightning
bolt that created the protoplasm of life."5

The Rosicrucians and the Sign of An Arrow
Moreover, the Rosicrucian Order seems to be somehow connected with
both the legend of the Spear and the Priory of Sion. D. C. Yermak,
writing in The Axis of Death - Vatican, Masonry, Zionism, Enemies of God, explains that,

"The Rosicrucians, by making their secret sign
with the first three fingers of the right hand united, make the Sign
of an Arrow."6

The Rosicrucian's Sign of an Arrow is dark and evil because it is
used by the individual to remove himself from God's Blessing and
leave himself purposely exposed to the arrows of the devil. (In this
case, the form, or shape, relates the arrow to the spear).

Dean Grace, authoritative researcher in symbology and Masonic
secrets, believes that at least some modern-day disciples of this
international black lodge, Priory of Sion, communicate their
involvement to other hidden members by giving the Sign of the Spear
Point.7 In this sign, the point of the spear can either be sharply
angular or it can be modified. Often, the fingers are positioned so
that the horns and face of Baphomet are indistinctly seen, as in the
inverted pentagram star.

Grace's research also indicates the Priory of Sion is either linked
or had something to do in the development of other, related occult
groups such as the Order of Knights Templar.

"The spear point
symbol," he says, "is the building block of the four-spoked,
eight-pointed Maltese Cross of the Order of the Knights of Malta."8

How the Sign is Given

A variation of the sharp, angular spear point sign is that displayed
in this chapter of
Codex Magica in the photos of ABC News reporter Sam Donaldson and
U.S.A. Vice President Dick Cheney. However, their modified hand and
finger positioning
is likely simply a personal eccentricity. As in
all cases of secret hand signs, human variation and personality
intervene, so that not all the signs are rendered expertly and in a
crisp, uniform, standardized fashion.

When placed in or near the female vulva area or the male genital
area, the spear point becomes a phallic symbol. In all cases, the
sign of the spear point is given so that the Y, the spear or arrow,
is pointing downward, toward the nether regions where, presumably,
Satan and his legions reside. That is, toward the pit of hell.

Title page of
Barbara Walker's The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and
Sacred Objects. Inside, Walker identified the symbol shown as the
Dragon's Eye. She reports that the Dragon's Eye forms a triple
triangle, sacred to the Goddess, and that this symbol appears often
in medieval books of magic, to invoke the protection of female
spirits and entities.

In fact, the Dragon's Eye bears a remarkable
resemblance to the Sign of the Spear Point, and the name Dragon's
Eye is appropriate, indeed.

The symbol
depicted is a spear point superimposed by a modified fleur de lis, a
symbol of the Merovingian royal dynasty.

First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, wearing a "Mao Tse Tung" peasant
outfit and fashion look, clearly giving the Baphomet/Priory of Sion
sign. This cover and feature article in Time (March 1, 1999)
examined Hillary Clinton's possible candidacy for the U.S. Senate
from the state of New York in the upcoming election (2000).

In fact,
Ms. Clinton ran and won. Was the symbology displayed (Priory of Sion
Sign) predictive of her future successful run?

Said by political analysts to be one of the most important addresses
of his political career, in late August 1998, President Bill Clinton
went on national television to give a limited mea culpa ("I am
sorry") for his sexual indiscretions with the young White House
intern, Monica Lewinsky.

an associate. Below: Just moments before the TV cameras roll,
Clinton sets his face in a sober, resolute attitude. With his Baphomet/Priory of Sion hand sign, he invokes success and blessings
from the ruler and forces of darkness. (Above photo: Newsweek, August
31, 1998, p.3; Below photo: The European newspaper, August 24-30,

In yet another Clinton bit of magic, President Bill Clinton gives
cabalistic sign (Baphomet/Priory of Sion spearpoint) while being
interviewed in late March 1999, by CBS News anchor Dan Rather. The
USA Today newspaper's editors apparently complied with elitist's
request to give maximum publicity to Clinton's interview and to this
particular photo.

Subject of this interview was the U.S. war against
Yugoslavia/Serbia, a key Illuminati project to help usher in their
New World Order. Clinton invokes the forces of darkness to assist
his speech and enhance his hypnotic persuasive powers over the
American people.

Actor Danny Glover, notorious for his Marxist liberal political
activism, sends a cabalistic message through the medium of AARP
magazine, also known for its Marxist and Jewish agenda. Glover is
signaling deep occultic spirits to empower his quest.

Sam Donaldson's face has been a staple for many years on ABC News.
But here, in this photo in Smart Business magazine, it is
Donaldson's hands we should pay attention to.

Sam Donaldson had no caption and no explanation. Obviously, it was
staged for the sole benefit of those who know.

Impresario Donald Trump demonstrates his knowledge of the
Illuminati's cabalistic Baphomet/Priory of Sion hand sign in the ad
(left, above) for his successful TV series, The Apprentice. Then, in
the glossy mag Private Clubs, June 2004, read mostly by wealthy
members of elite country clubs. Trump is shown three times, once on
the cover and twice inside, in cabalistic poses. Analysis: At
center, above, Trump's necktie and hands create a sexual "diamond in
the lotus" position, with three triangles.

The magazine cover photo
at left includes the mirror factor, the message being that there are
two Trumps, the esoteric, private "Illuminati Trump," and the
outgoing and extroverted "Public Trump." Finally, at top, right, we
also are shown a serious Donald sitting and giving the required
cabalistic triangle sign with both the fingers and thumbs of both
hands touching. This is a common sign of recognition among
Illuminati.
